I'm trying to edit a Microsoft word document but everytime I try to type in one of the boxes it says,"This modification is not allowed because the document is locked."


How can I unlock it?

Did you lock it on accident? Did you download the file from a website? It might be locked to protect the content, much like an Adobe PDF.

It works on my locked documents. Although, I am using an older version of Word.

Which part didn't work? The select all, copy, new doc or paste?

 

[21bUSA]

it wouldnt even let me copy it....

 

[Steve]

Take a screenshot with printscreen, print it out, scan with OCR, format new doc.

Within the document click on ?file? then click on ?permissions? and make sure ?unrestricted access? is ticked.

I appreciate the help. I got it.

Documents are locked for a reason.
